  1. Playing politics and arguing the exception rather than the rule.
  2. Going back a ways but... T. J. Houshmandzadeh Tim Krumrie was drafted in the 10th round 1983 Draft
  3. From Bengals.com Have not seen this but I like it SAMPLE OF HOME: With reports that the Bengals have agreed to terms with free agent tight Mike Gesicki, Drew Sample's three-year contract extension assures he'll have an old hand with the offense in the position room. If old news I missed... sorry. Report me to the Department of Redundancy Department again
  4. https://www.fox19.com/2024/03/12/report-bengals-release-veteran-rb-joe-mixon-sign-zack-ross-colts/ Report: Bengals release veteran RB Joe Mixon after signing replacement CINCINNATI (WXIX) - The Cincinnati Bengals released veteran running back Joe Mixon on Monday, according to ESPN reporter Adam Schefter. Mixon was released after the Bengals signed former Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss. Ross signed a 2-year, $8 million deal including a $4.525 million payout in year one, according to Schefter. Sports Illustrated said Mixon would have received a $3 million roster bonus on March 18 if he was still on the team, putting his 2024 cap hit to $8.85 million, about 3 percent of the total roster. Cincinnati drafted Mixon in the second round of the 2018 draft. He rushed for 2,027 yards and 17 touchdowns at Oklahoma. Mixon was a mainstay of the Bengals backfield, rushing for over 1,000 yards four times. He was a Pro Bowl selection in 2021, rushing for 1,205 yards and 13 touchdowns. He rushed for 6,412 yards in 97 games with the Bengals and is third on Cincinnati’s all-time rushing list behind James Brooks and Corey Dillon. He would have likely passed James Brooks early in the 2024 season if he wasn’t released. Moss rushed for 2,076 yards for Buffalo and Indianapolis since 2020. The Bills selected him with the third-round pick in 2020 after he played four years at Utah. He’s coming off his best pro season in 2023. He rushed for 794 yards and five touchdowns for the Colts in 14 games.
  5. Hey, left nut. Yeah, right nut? ... someone had to say it...
  6. I agree with everything you have said about CE-H. Good candidate for redeeming and all it would take would be for Joe to walk into Pumpkin's office, maybe with Ja'Marr, and say "Let's glide with Clyde". You know he would love to be here. I would be more concerned about Mixon getting arrested than Clyde getting injured. Let's Glide with Clyde.
  7. Obviously true about the O line but lsing Mixon is addition by subtraction. Forget last year's stats. They should come with an * because the last game was a joke. Seemed like they didn't even ask him to block because he was so piss poor. If the surveillance footage from the confrontation with a 50 year old lady on Walnut Street from last year was clearer we would not be having this discussion. He's a liability.
  8. Happy Birthday Bob Trumpy age 76 Trumpy is famous for spiking the ball on the five yard line before crossing the goal line. "Act like you've been there before" Paul Brown to Trump....y
  9. https://www.foxnews.com/sports/projected-top-10-nfl-draft-pick-suffers-injury-combine Projected top 10 NFL Draft pick suffers injury during Combine: reports Penn State's Olu Fashanu, arguably the top offensive tackle prospect in the Draft, suffered a right thigh injury Offensive tackle Olu Fashanu, a projected top 10 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, bowed out of his NFL Scouting Combine performance on Sunday due to injury. No one ever wants to see a prospect hurt during the Combine, but it’s the unfortunate reality that sometimes happens when draftees try to vault their draft stock. Clemson cornerback Nate Wiggins ran a blazing 40-yard dash earlier this weekend, but suffered a hip injury in the process. Fashanu, a Penn State product, left with a right thigh injury, according to multiple reports. He was seen walking around with that thigh wrapped in ice. Fashanu, though, seemed to be in good spirits, according to the NFL Network. He believes that he will be fine to perform at Penn State’s Pro Day on March 15, and he’s someone many teams will be waiting to see given his status among his peers. Fashanu measures 6-foot-6, 312 pounds with 34-inch arms and an 82 and 5/8th wingspan, along with an 8-and-a-half-inch hand. These are all prototypical measurables for someone who plays his position, and his speed and strength have proven to be something evaluators believe will translate to the next level. Fashanu is the best offensive tackle prospect in the NFL Draft depending on which expert or evaluator you talk to, but there’s no question many NFL teams believe him to be first-round worthy. Fashanu was a team captain last season for the Nittany Lions, starting 12 games at left tackle. He has 21 career starts at the position, and was named the 2023 Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year as well as first-team All-Big Ten. Fashanu did have an undisclosed injury that he suffered in 2022, which forced him to start just eight games. Penn State’s Pro Day will show if this was a small tweak at the Combine for Fashanu, or if it needs more attention moving forward. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This will cause some of the others we have been speculating to move up and him to move down possibly into our ball park. Do we take a chance or hope he drops into the second (third?) round with an injury prone rep? Would we consider him, anyway? I think Mims and Paul may be gone at 18, anyway. Esp Mims.
  10. Last night at Ja'Marr's birthday Cordel Volson opened the door for Joe Mixon who didn't see the open door, walked into the wall, fell on his ass and jumped up pounding his chest. Mixon later shot up a neighbor's yard and waived a pistol in a 50 year old woman's face and asked if she knew who he was. Told to me by a friend.
  11. If you click on this and read the whole tweet, it is really interesting and a worthwhile read. Talks about the Bengals offseason plan and excellent new coaches. Thanks for posting.
  12. All moot points. We won't have a shot unless we trade up. Not likely.
  13. I still liked the old school days when the backup quarterback was the holder. Always a threat to stand up and throw one down the field. Cool stuff, that.
  14. Actually, not a bad idea at all. The Browns are very accessible to personal contact and communication with fans, much more so than any other owner, I would say. A politely worded letter to both Mike and Katie (don't call them Old Musty and Pumpkin, me thinks...) explaining your plight (avoid the term "fucked over) and how far you, Go, travel and the expense alone with you and your son should weigh heavily. And your support of the team at games away from Paul Brown Stadium (screw Paycore). You have put more into this team, time and money, than high profile guys like say, well... you fill in the blanks. If anyone qualifies as a "Super Fan" its you, Go. However... I would not mention the message board thing and if you do don't tell them which one. Just sayin' and told to me by a friend.
